Parking is located at Farmco Lane and the trail stretches to the Rock County line. About one third of the trail is paved and parking is available at Farmco Lane and County Line Road. Bikers, joggers, walkers, dog walkers and in-line skaters make heavy use of the trail and it is plowed in the winter. The trail passes by farmsteads, prairie flowers, wetlands, woods, over streams, and through an award winning covered bridge. There is a connecting trail in the City of Fort Atkinson.
